So I, once again, have been enticed into another craze. I decide to give the Bootea Teatox a go.
There are many reasons as to why people choose to detox, to loose weight, boost the metabolism, clear the skin and to give yourself more energy. I wanted to try detoxing mainly to loose weight and clear my skin.
I purchased the 14 day teatox for £20.
With that you get two packets of tea bags, 14 for the daytime and 7 for bedtime - which you are told to have every other night.
Online there is a eating plan that you are supposed to follow for maximum results. Alcohol, Meat and Coffee shouldn't be consumed during the 14 day period if you want to achieve the best results.
My Experience
I decided that I was not going to follow the eating plan but to stick to my own way of healthy eating as I knew I would struggle to cut out meats and most carbohydrates! I had also decided that I would only weigh myself before the tea and once I had finished my 14 days.
The daytime detox tea has a fruity/herbal taste and the bedtime cleanse has a peppermint taste which I thought , considering it was a detox, would not taste that great but I found them ok. Although, I always had a strange taste in my mouth after drinking the bedtime cleanse, but it was bearable.
For the bedtime cleanse they mention it contains senna which gives you a laxative effect and that you should be prepared to go to the toilet around 8 hours after drinking it. Personally, not once throughout the detox did I feel a sudden urge to use the toilet! (too much information maybe?).
Overall, I only lost around 2 pounds which I think may have been a result of going to the gym (3 times per week) and sticking to my healthy way of eating (Slimming World). Maybe if I had followed the suggested eating plan I may have gotten better results! One thing I did find was that it gave me at lot more energy during the day, which meant after a long day at work I could still find the energy to hit the gym!
I don't think I personally will purchase this again but at £20, and considering you follow the suggested eating plan, it may just work for you!
Have any of you ever tried Bootea or another teatox? Id love to hear how you got on!
